There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yeah we likely won't hear as much as we did when they were/are into Sabi Sand.
But Manyeleti has some decent amount of updates and footage, just like with Mbiri Tintswalos (Ncile, Mandevu and Lambile).
Also its more likely guides could name them there...
IMO its better for them to be there. They were putting nothing on the table at Sabi Sand for months not to say year(s).
Even in an environment full of duos they were unable to impose themselves. Its of anyones understanding that the duos on Sabi Sand are all formidable to say the least, but nothing changes the fact that they had twice the numbers of their opponents.
I believe that the sister's presence can influence in their "mentality", but we cannot attribute the blame to her. It is worth remembering that at least two of them seemed to have absolutely little to no interest in mating with lionesses, be they Nkuhumas or even their own sister.
Maybe in Manyeleti things can change for whatever is best for them... Less dominant males and coalitions means less or atleast "weaker" competition.
Mbiri Pride does not even have dominant males. Others nearby that i can remember have only solitary dominants(?), such as Red Road or even male Kruger closer to Sabi sand.
